The paper quoted residents to have said the armed bandit stormed the hospital and headed to the outpatient ward in search of a doctor or nurse.

It appeared that the bandits were searching for a caregiver to treat their wounded colleagues.

“When they couldn’t find anybody there, they starting going from one ward to another. A nurse and a caregiver were abducted. They then moved to staff quarters looking for doctors and nurses but could not find any.”

“The armed criminals had earlier attempted to attack Maigoge, a community located six kilometres north of Dansadau town.

“But when they laid siege to the community, the vigilantes otherwise known as Yan Sakai firmly defended the village. The vigilante killed some of the bandits and injured several others.

“They then invaded the hospital to kidnap nurse and doctors that will treat their injured brothers in the forest.”

Maigoge is one of the few communities in Dansadau Emirate known to be firmly defending themselves against bandits.
